Okay, The Sharper Image, time to step aside! Not that there's anything wrong with unusual Christmas gifts, here are a few more catalogs that were sent to me in error. I'm not complaining.

First, a classic.

I've always been a big Eddie Bauer fan. However, I know, at least around these parts (please correct me if I'm wrong), most Eddie Bauer stores are now in outlet centers. The two catalogs pictured, 90 percent of the merchandise is outerwear, coats, boots, gloves, etc. I find it funny that every outerwear heavy company assumes everyone in the world skis at the North or South Pole. Not me! I've never been skiing, and I went ice skating for the first time earlier this year, and I'm lucky to be alive. I'll be the one sipping hot chocolate next time thank you!

A couple of months ago, I received the first of these gems. Sundance started out as an independent film festival founded by actor/director Robert Redford. Since then, the brand has evolved into a cable channel, a mountain resort and now? A clothing, jewelry, and home catalog business and this catalog contains some very beautiful, yet very pricey items. Sometimes indie doesn't come cheap. I gave Jaclyn one of the catalogs and she shrieked at a pair of boots as soon as she opened it! Yeah, there's some cute stuff, and some cute Christmas home items.

Now, the best catalog I received, and this one was addressed to me.

I became a St. Jude Partner in Hope for the first time during this year's Radiothon. I was totally surprised when the Holiday Gift Book showed up. Not only are there various clothing items, and Christmas items, you find out a little more about St. Jude itself and patient stories. It makes me smile.

Happy Shopping!
